When my toddler went through that phase, I would make her foods that she could feed herself. And its amazing the foods that they will eat if you make them look interesting enough!! My DD's favorite was 'the forest.' I just slathered some peanut butter on a small plate for the 'dirt,' stood some broccoli up in the pb for the 'trees,' and put some cheese cubes around for the 'rocks.' Another thing she really liked was those mini muffin tins that hold 6 muffins. I would put a different food in each cup, like brown rice, chicken bits, whole wheat pasta, avacado, apple...

Dips are awsome. Tahini, hummus a healthy salad dressind and cut up veggies fruits and breads, crackers. Steam the hardstuff if you are worried about choking. A great trick is to fill an ice cube tray with little snacks such as cherrios, cut up fruits, veggies, cheese, cubed tofu,.....and leave it on the table so you little one can go to it and snack whenever they want.

I dice banana slices and tofu dogs into quarters for DD. She also likes edamame. At first with the edamame, I would slip the skin off them because it sorta confused her when she put it in her mouth. Now though, she eats it just fine by herself.

if he wants something sweet make banana bread w/o oil use applesauce and load it up with grated carrots, zuchini (sp)
use wole grain pasta with the mac and chese, i add grated carrots to mine for my step kids kids. slice peices of broiled chicken and cool it a little then give him ranch or ketchup let him dip and make a mess
